London wildlife

aaakev

Im in west london for a few days at the moment and thought while im hear id check out the wildlife and see if foxes are as common as iv heard.

Went out last night for an hour and saw 4 foxes, 3 in residential areas and one in a park! One of them was bigger than any fox iv shot or seen back home and the other one i was close enough to looked very healthy too.

I was out today in the same areas and that musky fox smell is everywhere and the ammount of grey squirels around too is crazy, you could clean up round here with a 22, an air rifle and a bowl of dog food!!

If your looking for good wildlife in west London head to Richmond Park. The place is full of Red,fallow deer and grey squirrels!

You see foxes everyday in most parts of London. They live in parks and in lanes at the back of houses even in peoples gardens (either because the garden is not maintained or the owner encourages it...) they live along railway lines too basically any open ground residential, industrial anywhere.

They crap everywhere too and for all the moaning on bin day (when most places look like a war zone as it only takes 1 or 2 people in a street to allow their bin bags to be ripped open by them) that something needs to be done about the problem there is a strong reaction against the idea of a cull. ...

It's bizarre. It's a man made problem that needs sorting but no one wants to take those 'bad for re election decisions)

Now I live over here I rarely see a fox unless I'm out lamping or with the gun club on a fox shoot - this is a much better situation. I have a new appreciation for foxes. They look in far better condition (apart from being shot..) than foxes I saw in London they just looked like lanky rats with half their coats scratched off with mange.

And breathe ...

Have agree about the Parks especially Richmond. Lovely spot!

have a look around Dublin not far off London with the amount of fox we are heading down the same road and do you think the sh1theads in this government will do anything.
